Event: First Test Match: England v West Indies
Date: May 6 - 10 2009
England's cricket team will take to the pitch next month for their first test match of the series.
The three lions will compete at the home of cricket, Lords, against the West Indies in the first npower test of the series.
Running from May 6th to 10th, the ground will open at 09:15 BST, giving early birds the chance to get good seats before the start of the match at 11:00 BST.
The England Cricket board has released a special ticket offer for the game, which it describes as a "revenge battle" which "promises to deliver a showcase of the big hitters".
Alistair Cook is expected to play in a three-day game for Essex against the West Indies as a warm up prior to an England call-up, the BBC reports.
Ian Bell is also hopeful of a place in the squad for the first test, after he was called up to a second-string Lions team facing the West Indies next week.
At the end of a hard day of cricket fans can head to luxury London hotel The Chesterfield Mayfair, which offers a champagne package, giving guests a free bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal.
